Popular Post null Posted September 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2018 There have been an uptick in people making comments in other's 'For Sale' threads, who have no interest in buying the item being sold and potentially drive away interested buyers. I'd like to see there be a formal policy that discourages members from posting such comments in BST threads. srooch2, GolfSpy MPR, JudgeSmails and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reported it to the mods and all the threads were moved or dumped into cyberspace rather quickly fozcycle, Rickp, Golfspy_CG2 and 1 other 4 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

Popular Post GolfSpy Barbajo Posted September 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hi guys -- As y'all know (that was for you, Stu), our forum is remarkably self-policing, and guys who are intent on starting trouble generally don't last very long. We try to stay on top of things, but occasionally we miss something - this isn't the bread-winning day job for any of us! That said, the Morals Codes Adam wrote out way back when are still the Golden Rule of the MGS Forum, as far as I'm concerned. I'd boil it all down to this: be respectful of each other, and "the other guy started it" is NOT an excuse. We're all responsible for what we say and do. I'm glad this post is out there - if someone has something for sale, either buy it or don't - no need for commentary - there are PLENTY of threads for that! Like you guys said, common courtesy. Threads like this is one is why I love our members - you guys seriously do rock!

PokeForeLyfe Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 In today's age of social media and being able to speak without consequence, common courtesy has faded significantly. Good to see there are still some stand up folks who have each other's backs but I've left more than one forum where threads were just out of control. Hit em straight guys.

brownmoose13 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 My feeling is if I saw you had a club for sale that was worth $100 but you were asking $500 or it looked like it was dragged behind a car down a gravel road I would not make a negative comment. If I am not interested or I thought you were crazy I would go on to the next thread. I did get reprimanded for calling the guy a jerk and at my age (almost 70) that is about as politically correct as I can be!!! The comment made by Poke is dead on...computers and social media have made many people more brave than they would be in person if you know what I mean.

The comment made by Poke is dead on...computers and social media have made many people more brave than they would be in person if you know what I mean. Thanks, Chuck Exactly right. Let the sale take care of itself. If it's in that bad of condition or the price is inflated it just won't sell. If the seller wants to get rid of it bad enough they will adjust. Don't know why their price has to be any of my concern if I have no interest in the items. I guess that's what I don't get today. Do we just feel that much better putting someone else down or leaving a negative comment?

fixyurdivot Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Things like pricing and item condition are best handled through a PM. As for folks making general comments/post in a classified thread, I see both the up and down sides of this. For instance, a couple of fellow MGS posts about an item I was interested in, "great club and price", "someone should grab these", were partly responsible for my follow-up with the seller. Sometimes it's helpful to hear positive comments from others about an item. Certainly if one has nothing positive to say, just don't post. My .02 cents worth on the topic. chemclub, NiftyNiblick, Golfspy_CG2 and 1 other 4 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Currently Under Product Test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanoito Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Commenting also helps bump up the thread for more exposure.

The vast majority of post/comments I see on listings are positive and actually help the sale - that was the case on an item I recently sold. In the last week I have seen people jump in and ask the person why they were selling the club and what was wrong with the club, and another telling the seller that his prices were too high. These types of things clutter the BST thread and are detrimental to the person selling, and as should be handled through personal messages. Positive comments are okay - but trying to start a discussion or negative comments or "advice" have no place on someone else's BST post As GolfSpy Barbajo said Quote if someone has something for sale, either buy it or don't - no need for commentary - there are PLENTY of threads for that! russtopherb, RickyBobby_PR, MattF and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixyurdivot Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Got it. I guess I just haven't seen many detrimental comments. I dislike seeing things adjusted for the lowest common denominator; a couple of not helpful comments drive the 98 helpful ones away .
